I would not buy an Alfa. They are notorious for breaking and being expensive to fix when they do. Plus the resale is terrible.

They are very stylish and fun vehicles to drive , but you only want to own under a lease!  That being said, even under a lease/warranty, you have a high potential of things breaking down. Also, service centers are very few and far between and you might be waiting a while for some of the parts to come in to fix problems - there’s just not that many of them on the road.

I remember a long time ago a nice lady wanted to buy a Alfa Romeo Spider and wanted to sell her Honda Civic to help fiancé the purchase. I advised to either buy a Mazda MX5 or keep the Honda Civic for a daily driver. I was working at a dealership at the time and she left in a “Karen” sort of way. Well three months later she came back to car lot and she wanted trade in the Alfa for another boring Asian car. We sure low balled her on her Alfa.

It can be good for mechanics who are willing to work on it because of complexity of repairs. In my area mechanics I talked to, hate those cars.

Alfa Romeo is owned by Fiat (now its part of Stellantis) and they have just a tiny bit better quality than Fiat, but still garbage (is what Scotty says). Think of it like a more luxurious Fiat. If we get into technicalities, it is an "Italian premium car manufacturer and a subsidiary of Stellantis."
